No. Not everybody is guessing. There's a powerful line of logic that says the odds of mammaries on Mrs. T. Rex are extremely remote. It's not just the lack of soft-tissue evidence.

There is a powerful line of evidence showing that species with mammary glands give life birth - all known mammals except the monotremes. Nevertheless life is far more bountiful, far more different, than your ideology provides for. This is only partially about mammaries in dinosaurs. The main point is that paleontology is circular reasoning, it is a self-fullfilling prophecy. It never finds anything new, because it is predicting from the old. It gives assurances of similarity, when very little is indeed known. Whole species, entire skeletons, beautiful drawings, missing links are created from a tooth, a broken skull, a few ankle bones, or a jaw. Paleontology is not science, it is fairy tales. As to the professionalism of these jokers, just look at my post on the Dinosaur and the Turkey sandwich.

You never did reproduce the evo logic. Rather, you pretended to not understand. "So you admit there's no proof?" Whatever.

It was No-Kin-To-Monkeys, of all people--I mean, look at that screenname--who took the challenge of trying to think like an evo and eventually lurched to the conclusion the evo way. It about killed both of us. Me, anyway.

You're simply bubblin' and babblin'.
